Just get the clearest photos you can without zooming in, and then simply crop the results.
And I like being able to display all 66 of my Roman Republican coins in a single tray, with room for 14 more!
I too, voted for Caracalla and Max Thrax. I don't think your photos are far off: it's just that they're all a little blurry. Are you holding the...
I understand the utility of slabs to preserve truly high-end ancient coins (say, five figures and up) and make sure they aren't damaged. (And...

10, 8, and 1. All fantastic. The rest are great too, but those three really stand out.
1, 8, and 11 are my favorites. A great year for you!
Cow, sow -- one of the best I've seen -- and the very cool bracteate.
My favorite is the wonderful Pompey, with the Crispina a close second.
